Life

Horoscope: March 23

Moon Alert: We have the "all clear" today to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You can expect to have a sense of a tape looping in your life, more than ever, in the next few weeks. People from the past will suddenly contact you. Old dreams and memories from the past will bubble to the surface of your mind. (And what's with that goblin in the basement?)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might be surprised at your eagerness to talk to others in the next few weeks. In a sort of out-of-the-blue way, you want to socialize more. Many of you will join clubs, groups and associations. Or you might look up old friends? Yada yada yada.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs will become surprisingly personal (and possibly intimate) in the next few weeks. (Don't ask, don't tell.) You feel an unexpected simpatico with authority figures. This could be good.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your desire to learn more and explore different philosophies, religions and foreign cultures will grow during the next month. ("Their approach to sex is fascinating, but not for us. We're British.") Not only will you study new things, many of you will want to travel to learn more as well.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You're a generous sign (sometimes ridiculously so). During the next six weeks, you might become more active with charitable activities, fundraising or figuring out how to alleviate the suffering of others by using joint resources. (You're good at this.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In the next month, you will have opportunities to clarify things with others, especially business partners and spouses. The month ahead is an excellent time to discuss difficulties that have come up in these relationships. You will likely establish a mutual simpatico.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although you love to schmooze, socialize and discuss intellectual ideas, in the next six weeks, you might be surprisingly hands-on in your activities at home or on the job. You're ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuff done! ("I've printed off this Biiig List.")

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your ideals are aroused, especially related to romance (what's new?) and your relationship with children. Because of this, discussions with loved ones will explore unusual territory - more touchy-feely stuff - in the month ahead. Basically, this is a good thing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Family discussions will be unusually meaningful for many of you in the next six weeks. Some of you might have an intervention because you're concerned about a family member. Other discussions will be mutually supportive and gosh-golly-gee, kinda sweet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your ability to fantasize and get in touch with your Muse will be beautifully enhanced in the month ahead. Because your imagination will be heightened, use this window of opportunity to write, promote, create concepts and have discussions with others that are mutually sympathetic.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In the month ahead, your ideas about making money might be off the charts! They'll definitely be inventive, creative and fanciful. Guard against going off the deep end and spending too much money or committing too much money to a project.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Mercury retrogrades back into your sign today, where it will stay for the next month. This will definitely give you a sense of reliving the past, or contacting people from your past or hearing from old friends - that sort of thing. Expect moments of Dijon vu (when the smell of hot dogs reminds you of childhood hockey games.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

British runner (first to break 4 minute mile)/neurologist Roger Bannister (1929) shares your birthday today. You love life and the huge variety of people in the world. This is why you want to explore everything. You're compassionate and philosophical and hold tightly to your beliefs. (You take things very deeply to heart.) You also have a strong love of children. Work hard to build or construct something in the coming year because your rewards will soon follow.
